string if the User password is currently not set, before entering the new password. Enter a
null string for the new password to clear the password. The User password controls access
to modify the following BIOS Setup fields: time, date, language, and User password. If only
one password (Administrator or User) is set, then this password is required to enter Setup.

password by providing the administrator password as explained below.
